Ambulance

Anyone who knows me is fully aware of my obsession with TV on the Radio. I just wanted to point out the lyrics to one of my favorite songs of all time.

your slim frame
your eager eyes
and your wild mane
oh they keep me where i belong
all wrapped up in wrong

you're to blame
for wasted words of sad refrain
oh let them take me where they may
believe me when i say

oh i will be your accident
if you will be my ambulance
i will be your screech and crash if you will be my crutch and cast
i will be your one more time if you will be my one last chance
so fall for me

your slime frame
your simple stare
and your wrong wrong name
they keep me where i belong
all strung out in song

while i so tamed
where we can shoot other vines through your good name
sip sweet from nights deep wells
and watch are garden swim as our seeds are soaked
while overgrown
you will see
hearts colors change like leaves

oh sweet sweet dream fall for me
fall fast fall free fall for me
because
oh i will be your ambulance
if you will be my accident
i will be your screech and crash if you will be my crutch and cast
and i will be your one more time if you will be my one last chance
so sweet dream fall with me
fall fast fall free fall with me

I just heard this song completely randomly on Pandora and it got me thinking about the weekend I just had. I just finished taking a weekend long meditation seminar. I learned a few meditation techniques and had a generally great time.

One of the over arching themes of the weekend was looking inward. Finding answers to your problems inward and working them out for yourself. This is undoubtedly true as one can't possibly hope that another person will solve problems that one isn't willing to work on alone.

But there was something about the lyric
"I will be your screech and crash if you will be my crutch and crash"

This line makes perfect sense. Yes we have to work on our own shit alone but damn life is too fucking hard and sometimes a little help is needed.

Sometimes an Ambulance is needed.
